Life and career
Hays was born Kay Piper in Princeton, Illinois, on July 26, 1934, the only child of Roger and Daisy (Hays) Piper. Hays was raised by her mother, a bookkeeper, and a banker, as well as her stepfather, Arnold Gottlieb, who died soon after she was born.
She grew up in Joliet. She studied at Northwestern University and worked as a model. Kathryn Hays changed her name to Kathryn Hays in 1962 (using her mother's maiden name for her last name).
Hays' first marriage was to Sidney Steinberg in 1957, with whom she had a daughter, Sherri. Hays married actor Glenn Ford in 1966; the pair divorced in 1969. Wolfgang Lieschke, a designer who worked in advertising, was her third husband.
Hays made several appearances on episodic television early in her career. Hays described those appearances in a 2010 interview with We Love Soaps: "It was a wonderful time to begin a career." It was nearly always women when the guest stars on the primetime shows were nearly all female. The running star will be a man. The main storyline would be a very rich role to play."
Hays appeared in the NBC western series The Road West, starring Barry Sullivan, Andrew Prine, Kelly Corcoran, and Glenn Corbett in the 1966–67 television season. She was both Sullivan's wife and Prine's stepmother (though she was only three years old). Chance Reynolds, Corbett's brother, appeared as her sister.

Marcus Welby, M.D. Bonanza, and Branded were among their appearances.

Hays appeared on Broadway many times, including a production of Dames at Sea starring Bernadette Peters.
